Also bathroom sink is clearing out so manager got the plumbers in but they tackled problem from other end. So that is good.

When I went shopping last at Trader Joe's a LOT of stuff was out, especially the chicken, ground beef, and eggs - but other things too like mayo and sriracha. So this time around I went early and got what I needed. Phew!
As for rain - I think that last little spatter we had was it for the year. When they total it up at USC (where they do the rain graph I post) it'll be ~11.75" for the year. Normal is 15". Sigh.
And the vast majority of California is either 'abnormally dry' or 'moderate drought', according to the USDA drought monitor.
So we'll be going into summer already dry. That's going to make for a ~wonderful~ fire season, which will start early. 
I was SO hoping for a better rainy season than we've been getting for so many years!

Well, the plumbers got the sink to drain but I can't use it as I tried to run a little water and it just wanted to fill up again. So the sink maybe empty but not usable.

So it's now draining - very slowly?
If I understand it right, it wasn't draining, they got it to drain normally and emptied it, but now it's only barely draining, again?

Do you know what they tried?
They probably just need to rod it out.

Yes, it drained slowly when I noticed it and it emptied. Then I had to use it to wash my hands when I noticed it starting to fill again. I shut the tap off and it did drain again completely but still slowly.

Have no idea. I found it draining after I got home today from my walk. All I thought at the time is finally with relief.

BRENDA: Ran into my old landlady today, she said there is some mail for me at the house. Have to go and pick it up then make sure to get a change of address to the place.

Quote:BRENDA ... they didn't access your bathroom to unclog it, did they? If they DIDN'T, then they might have snaked it out from the cleanout located somewhere outside your apartment.

If that's the case, the problem might still be in the "u" shaped piece of pipe right under the sink ... possibly soap or hair or both. If you haven't already, you might want to try liquid Drano or Liquid Plumber.

Nah, she just surprised me is all. This is twice I've seen her grocery shopping at the local Walmart. I saw her but she called me and asked me how I was and I said fine then she told me about the mail. I have no intentions of saying anything much to her whenever I see her. She's not worth my time or effort.
